We are helping our Somali brothers get rid of these narrow-minded attackers. The Somali people do not support the extremists, they are on the side of our soldiers.

More quotes by Yoweri Museveni
The problems of tribal conflicts in Kenya are much older, caused by the former colonial power. A former American ambassador there once wrote about how the CIA has contributed to the divisions between Kenyans.
Yoweri Museveni
I don't know about torture. I have educated myself on many things but on torture I have not known the boundary between what is torture and what isn't torture. I know the NRA tie these people (rebels, etc.) when they catch them. They tie their hands backwards. I am now being told that is torture. It is the traditional method.
Yoweri Museveni
We do not accept the Western way of thinking that there are two ways of life. At the same time, the police (here) are not chasing gays. In Africa, sexuality is something very private, even for heterosexuals. Heterosexuals are not parading! But gays want to behave like exhibitionists.
Yoweri Museveni
We certainly would be happy for more help, but not at the price of condescension and arrogance. If the Europeans believe they can afford to be less committed in Somalia, please - we can deal with it ourselves.
Yoweri Museveni
Our population is growing rapidly because of our good health policy. When I came into office, there were 14 million Ugandans, today there are 38 million, despite the catastrophe of AIDS, which we have also tackled. The Ugandans know and appreciate this, especially the elderly.
Yoweri Museveni
I've never heard an agency say, 'Unless you industrialize I will not support you.'
Yoweri Museveni
Joseph Kony is hiding somewhere in the Central African Republic. He is no longer a threat. We have already punished him. We provide our own safety.
Yoweri Museveni
When we sell a kilo of bean coffee in Uganda, we get one dollar per kilo. The same kilo, when it is processed [and sold in Britain], goes for $10, $11 or even more a kilo. That is the same situation that goes for all raw materials.
Yoweri Museveni
One of the emphases of the new democratic order is no impunity.
Yoweri Museveni
Today, hundreds of thousands of AIDS patients are under medical treatment, which is a great advancement. But it makes some people reckless.
Yoweri Museveni
Our laws and institutions are excellent, but the population is not yet ready. They must develop their views and need to be provided with the right information. We now also have private broadcasters and many are very critical of me, hostile even, yet they operate freely.
Yoweri Museveni
I did not, I could not and I will never invite Obote, ... This is because Obote is someone who made a lot of mistakes in our history.
Yoweri Museveni
I don't pick up people. This is the work of the police. If there's anybody with a case, it's the police, not me.
Yoweri Museveni
I have made revenue collection a frontline institution because it is the one which can emancipate us from begging. If we can get about 22% of GDP we should not need to disturb anybody asking for aid instead of coming here to bother you, give me this, give me this, I shall come here to greet you, to trade with you.
Yoweri Museveni
What is the Geneva Convention on wars! I have never read it.
Yoweri Museveni
Some people think that being in government for a long time is a bad thing. But the more you stay, the more you learn. I am now an expert in governance.
Yoweri Museveni
I shall not be deterred by people who don't see where the future of Africa lies. It is the short-sighted people who put their opinions in writing. They don't understand that the future of all countries lies in processing.
Yoweri Museveni
None of the parties want this conflict to go on.
Yoweri Museveni
If I kissed my wife in public, I'd lose the next election.
Yoweri Museveni
May the soul of the late President Milton Obote... a long-time member of this parliament, rest in peace.
